HIBAPRESS – A. Mahyaoui
A number of RNI constituents in the Fez-Meknes region have called for an urgent meeting of the party's Political Bureau, headed by Mohamed Shukki, to assess the results of the September 2026 legislative elections in the Fez-Meknes region, and to review the organizational imbalances they say accompanied the management of the electoral phase, while calling for the assignment of responsibilities and the restructuring of the regional and provincial organization.
A statement issued by the party's constituents in the region, in its first version, clarified that the recorded results at the regional level necessitate opening a responsible internal discussion about the reasons for the party's failure in a number of electoral districts, and to ascertain the background of losing seats that were counted on winning, in addition to evaluating the method of managing candidacies and electoral campaigns and the effectiveness of coordination mechanisms between the various organizational structures.
The statement highlighted a number of files that its authors believe require review, foremost among them the rejection of the regional list of women, and the resulting loss of an electoral opportunity, demanding an organizational review to determine responsibilities and ascertain the circumstances and complications related to the preparation and submission of the list, in accordance with the applicable documents and legal procedures.
The signatories of the statement also called for clarification of the circumstances surrounding the management of the candidacy in the Fez North constituency, and to hear from the candidate, Wazani, and the various concerned parties, in light of the questions raised about the conditions of his participation in the electoral contest. They stressed the need to deal with these issues through institutional mechanisms that ensure all parties are heard and responsibilities are determined based on available data.
The demands extended to the party's results in the constituencies of Moulay Yacoub, El Hajeb, and Ifrane, where the statement's authors called for an evaluation of the electoral choices and organizational decisions related to these constituencies, and to ascertain the reasons for not achieving the results the party was looking forward to, linking political and organizational responsibility to the results of an objective evaluation.
At the organizational level, RNI constituents in the region called for an end to the interim stage of regional coordination management, and to open a discussion within the party's institutions about a new management formula that ensures clarity of responsibilities and enhances consultation and participation in decision-making. They also called for the restructuring of regional and local coordinations, in a way that allows for overcoming internal differences and restoring trust between the leadership, elected officials, cadres, and constituents.
The statement considered that addressing the organizational situation in the region requires opening a serious internal dialogue, listening to the various party components, and overcoming manifestations of tension and feelings of exclusion, while emphasizing the importance of respecting party institutions and adopting clear accountability mechanisms and equal opportunities in managing responsibilities and candidacies.
The authors of the statement also warned of the repercussions of the continuation of internal disagreements on the organization's cohesion and its readiness for the upcoming collective and regional elections, calling on the national leadership to act to contain the disparities and reorganize the internal house, so as to ensure broader participation of the party bases in shaping organizational decisions.
At the end of their statement, the party's constituents identified a set of demands, most notably holding an urgent meeting of the Political Bureau, reviewing the file of the regional list of women, an organizational investigation into the circumstances of the candidacy in Fez North, evaluating the results of the Moulay Yacoub, El Hajeb, and Ifrane constituencies, in addition to reconsidering the management of regional coordination and restructuring provincial and local structures.
This statement, according to its content, comes in the context of internal calls to review the management of the RNI party in the Fez-Meknes region, amid demands to open an institutional dialogue that allows for diagnosing the shortcomings and listening to the various parties, leading to organizational decisions based on clear data and taking into account the party's unity and the cohesion of its structures.
